The Philosophy Of Freedom

Welcome

Rudolf Steiner: Peace Based On Freedom, Not Social Justice"Freedom is the only word which has a ring of immediate truth today… If, instead of such slogans as peace founded on justice, or peace imposed by force, people would only speak of peace based on freedom, then this word would echo round the world and kindle in the hearts of all a sense of security" 1918 Rudolf Steiner video: What's wrong with Democratic Socialism?

The Epic Battle For Freedom"Those souls who cooperate with Rudolf Steiner in the task of liberating the human race appear like comets in cultural life unsupported by interest groups."R.A.Savoldelli

Updating Philosophy Of Freedom Rudolf Steiner's Philosophy Of Freedom is a path to freedom, individualism, and ethics. It is a science of freedom intended to be applied to life. Steiner said it should be updated in 100 years to speak the language of the time. This looked to be a hopeless task lacking anyone qualified. It was last revised in 1918 by Steiner. But now, exactly 100 years later an unkown Canadian psychologist, Jordan Peterson, has roared upon the scene presenting the basics of Steiner's teachings in an understandable way backed up by the science of psychological and cognitive research. Steiner developed Ethical Individualism out of philosophy. Peterson has developed it out of the theory of evolution. "The same Ethical Individualism which I have developed on the basis of the preceding principles, might be equally well developed on the basis of the theory of evolution." --Rudolf Steiner TPOF 12.7

Jordan Peterson Dr. Peterson is picking it up where Steiner left off, not as a philosopher or mystic, but better suited to our time as a psychologist. Dr. Peterson's main areas of study are the psychology of religious and ideological belief, and the assessment and improvement of personality and performance.

Dr. Peterson says we should express our inner truth, which is the essential teaching of The Philosophy Of Freedom. He teaches the book’s principles of freedom, individuality and ethics --the journey of the heroic individual. He also teaches basic principles of anthroposophy such as elements of Christianity, the Logos, the value of archetypes found in ancient myths, and encountering your shadow.

Joining The Epic Battle In 2016, several of Dr. Peterson’s online lectures, videos and interviews went viral, launching him into unprecedented international prominence as a public intellectual, educator and cultural critic. His audience is rapidly expanding and coming together for an epic battle against the inner and outer forces that oppose the evolutionary unfoldment of human freedom. The individual battle is for each one to take responsibility for one's life, live ethically, and express one's inner truth. The social and political battle is with the pathological belief system of postmodern neo-marxism. It has infiltrated our universities and is spreading into politics to divide us into identity groups. Identity politics is the new form of Marxist oppressor / oppressed doctrine that opposes free individuality and can only lead us, Peterson warns, toward a war of all against all.

The culture war is a fight with the Social Justice Movement based on postmodern neo-marxism. What is that? (see video below) Update: Postmodern neo-marxism has gained a foothold into Waldorf/Steiner schools - "The Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (AWSNA) annual summer conference was on looking at Waldorf education through the lens of social justice."

PoliticsRudolf Steiner's "The Philosophy Of Freedom" is not part of anthroposophy. After all, the Anthroposophical Society did not even exist until 20 years later. "The purpose of The Philosophy Of Freedom is to lay the foundation of ethical individualism and of a social and political life." 1918 Rudolf Steiner.

The Philosophy Of Freedom obviously expresses a Libertarian view. In discussions, the socialists complained of Steiner's Libertarian tirades. TPOF is centrist. But today the US Left has become very regressive standing for Marxism, identity politics, censorship and suppressing individuality. It now opposes most of the values in TPOF. If I find a video of Lefitists fighting for free speech I will post it (they used too). The US media blacks out news critical of Israel so I post that also.

Not Making Videos -- New ProjectsAll the wensite links are in the Study Guide.

I have stopped making videos to focus on research. Two projects: 1. to show how TPOF is the foundation of a new science of freedom and 2. to show how it is the foundation of a science of thinking types (the 12 worldviews).

I am taking a scientific approach using comparative research, comparing outer truth and inner truth for each chapter section within the TPOF. Throughout each day we choose to take the inner or the outer path. TPOF is the path of inner truth.
